RansomedLife, a local non-profit, says on its website that an estimated 79,000 minors/ young adults are victims of trafficking in TX. And kidnapping doesn’t always have to be involved. Those kids may still attend school, be in activities, and live at home.

Did you know? Trafficking also includes domestic servitude and forced labor. In some cases, forced marriages can also constitute trafficking.
